Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Rise Loses Out On Top Spot For The First Time Since Launch – Nintendo Life

Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for the week ending 25th April, revealing that Monster Hunter Rise has fallen from first place for the first time since its launch last month.

Rise’s sales are understandably continuing to drop slightly week-on-week, with this week’s 86,258 estimated physical sales leaving it just shy of two million in total. Those 86,000 sales weren’t enough to match PS4 newcomer NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, which debuted with a strong 108,838 physical sales.

Elsewhere, the new Atelier Mysterious Trilogy DX Premium Box also debuted in the top ten on Switch with 6,022 copies sold, and the usual Nintendo first-party suspects can be found making up the rest of the chart.

Here are the top ten (first numbers are this week’s estimated sales, followed by total sales):

1. [PS4] NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… (Square Enix, 04/22/21) – 108,838 (New)
